Heedless muslim [ a small minority I must add] always letting themselves down, It's time they took heed and listened to this ayah:- Repel evil with that which is better. We[God] are best aware of that which they allege. (Quran 23:96) Does a believer fight evil with evil, or insult with insult or rather fights evil with goodness, kindness and forgiveness?

My bacaac is better than your bacaac!

America should concentrate more on soft-power, the ratio of 650billion dollars defence and armament to 24billion in aid should be recalibrated so that United State is carrying a big carrot instead of a big stick [ i.e Drones, cruise missiles, B 52s]. Terrorism, piracy, famine, and mob justice are symptoms of failure of governance, helping countries build capacity for effective governance is the cure and not bombing, drones and cruise missiles.

The New Yorker September 14, 2012 Why America’s Diplomats Must Remain Visible Posted by Jon Lee Anderson In the aftermath of the gruesome mob violence in Benghazi this week that resulted in the murders of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American diplomats, together with as many as ten Libyan security guards, as well as attacks on U.S. embassies elsewhere in the Middle East, it is easy to recall the 1993 Black Hawk Down incident in Somalia, in which eighteen American servicemen were killed, their bodies dragged through the streets of Mogadishu by angry mobs. Democracy does not tend to flourish in the midst of civil wars, nor in fragile states, much less without a strong partner, such as the nations of Europe and Japan enjoyed under the U.S.-sponsored Marshall Plan in the years following the Second World War. In Somalia after Black Hawk Down, there was no state, there was a hydra-headed civil war, and there was no American goodwill—or anything else for that matter, for a very long time. Soon afterward, the United States withdrew its troops from the country, and Somalia was left to its own devices. The country became an ungoverned black hole where armed gangs fought for turf, sea pirates established a sanctuary to launch raids offshore, and Islamist extremists took refuge after launching terrorist attacks. In the intervening years, by and large, the U.S. presence in Somalia has been fleeting and furtive: lighting raids by Special Forces commandos to snatch or kill fugitive extremist suspects; convoys of naval warships escorting seaborne shipments of food to alleviate the country’s periodic famines, and anti-piracy operations in the seas off its lawless shores. For most of the past two decades, Somalia has languished under widespread international opprobrium as the world’s “most failed state.” Continue on the link below: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2012/09/why-americas-diplomats-must-remain-visible.html

Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to God, works righteousness, and says "I am of those who surrender in God's will"? (Quran 41:33)

I never understand the point Layzie's threads especially relating to Islam, has she left Islam and this is her way to expose how evil Islam is?:confused:

Oba, you're being a cultural fascist! Bantus represent 15% of our population, and I would like to see them keep their culture.

Lol, I hope you didn't write this under the influence in a maafrish, and are you saying that Maay Maay people are a fraud? /:

Another political kiss of death for a politician from Puntland, why would anyone want an endorsement from a pirate Governor?:eek:

I think the President Should make the first visit to Uganda, that nation has a paid a heavy prize in it's effort of helping us reconstitute our state. Then Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Turkey. [ on his way to the UN]

I think people are being harsh here. Walaalkis, has made a good point, I believe fruits from your own labour are more dignifying than receiving a handout from a generous friend.

Kuwa hoose matter, it's the indiferrence to those at the margin of the society that brought whirlwind that is the Somali destruction, no clan or group should be left out of Somali affairs, every Somali [man,woman and child] should be at the centre of the Somali state. We can only truly recover as a people if we build from the bottom up, for that reason, Kuwa hoose matter!
